Hi Cappyjon,

I agree with others that you are kind to be concerned. Also, by taking the time to post it, you give others a chance to consider what they might do in a similar situation.

Funny thing is, Wednesday afternoon I was driving home in cart from neighborhood pool and saw a women in my Village walking in the sun. I assumed she was walking because she wanted to walk. However, being neighborly, I stopped all the same to ask if she would like a lift. Much to my surprise, she said, "oh yes, thank you very much". Turns out she had walked to the mailboxes and was almost home. However, it was a bit hotter than she expected and she was tired. I took her the rest of the way to her house, which was on my way home. We exchanged pleasantries and I was on my way.

Moral of the story, I think, is we can assume but can't be sure of another's situation. Cappyjon, I suppose in that situation, I might have said hello and asked in a friendly and unassuming way if she needed assistance. Of course, there's always the chance she would have been offended. In all likelihood, the lady was just fine and out for a walk in the pleasing rain!
